The Barnes Foundation's ensemble displays

The Barnes Foundation, relocated to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in 2012, is known for Dr. Albert C. Barnes's distinctive method of hanging artworks in ensembles-mixing Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings with African and Native American objects. The collection includes major works by Renoir, Cézanne, Matisse, and Picasso arranged according to Barnes's pedagogical vision rather than strict chronology. The building and display approach have been influential in museum studies and visitor experience design.
